3 Best Gaming PC Configuration Under Rs 30000

We have already worked on the best gaming PC builds in last few articles where we used a higher budget of Rs. 40,000 and above.In this gaming pc build, we will attempt to set up a good performance Gaming Rig under Rs 30000 for 2016. As we keep lowering the budget it becomes relatively difficult to choose the best components.

Choosing the parts and building a PC in this range needs much more rigour as budget is big constraint and it becomes difficult to get high frames per second with low priced hardware. We attempt to create the 3 Best Gaming PC configuration under Rs 30000 which will maximize in gaming and overall performance for doing other tasks like video editing, watching movies and general use.

There are many combinations which you can buy when it comes to PC components. But the best configuration is that which optimizes a PC performance as a whole and give the best possible experience to buyer.

Fitting together the right GPU and CPU is essential and other components should as well augment the key parts to increase the performance. We will try to balance out the budget for right motherboard, Processor and Graphics Card.

We will share 3 build in this article you can buy any of them based on your personal choice and budget. In build 2 and build 3 the budget is slightly pushed higher to accommodate the more powerful graphics card and processor.

Gaming PC Configuration 1 Under Rs 30000

PC Configuration – The first build here we would be using the Intel processor Intel 3.0 GHz LGA 1150 G-3220. The processor is 64 Bit and based on 22 Nm Lithography and is Haswell based current generation. It has 2 Cores and 2 Threads with 3 MB cache and supports 32 GB memory (1333 MHz Clock speed). Reason for not picking up a core i3 Haswell is simple we will overshoot the budget if we use it. We will like to spend more on the graphics card to make it a truly exhilarating Gaming PC.

Cabinet – Antek VSK – 4000Uis a very reliable branded cabinet and one of the cheapest available for Gaming PC build. The build quality is great in most Antek Cabinets and good cable management and design to house more than 1 hard disks and a Graphics card with ease.

Dimensions – 185 x 440 x 412 mm

Weight – 5 Kg

1 x 120 mm Fan (Rear)

2 Front USB 3.0 Ports

7 Expansion Slots

5.25 inch Bays – 3 external

2 Front USB 3.0 Ports

Power Supply Placement at Bottom

Monitor – Acer P166HQL 15.6 inch LED Backlit LCD Monitor has a native resolution of 1366*768 and is ideal for gaming with this gaming Rig. You can add a 18 inch or bigger monitor if you like which will cost you another Rs. 1000-2000 and will be a valuable addition and make the whole gaming experience better.

You can refer this Article to do so more research on monitors – Best Monitors for Gaming PC. The monitor is good with vivid color display the response time is a little higher.

Response time 16 ms

RAM – Transcend DDR3-1333 DDR3 4 GB PC DRAM – We will use the 1333 Mhz Ram here which is compatible with the motherboard and processor. You can add another 4GB stick later on if you wish to expand the RAM though 4GB is good for all gaming and processing requirements. The Transcend RAM comes with a 5 years domestic warranty.

Hard Disk – Seagate Barracuda 1 TB Desktop Internal Hard Drive– We thought a lot to save some money and add a 500GB hard drive in this build but again that is just Rs. 500 cheaper than the 1 TB version. Current generation games like GTA 5 , GTA 4 , Assassin’s Creed , Far Cry 4 , Crysis 3 and HD and Blu Ray movies occupy a lot of space so 1 TB is bare minimum we need today.

Power Supply – Cooler Master Thunder 500 Watts PSU – This is ideal to support all the power requirements for the processor, motherboard, and GPU we need. Also the Graphics card we have chosen needs a 500 watt PSU so this is the minimum power supply we need for optimal performance.

Motherboard – Gigabyte GA-H81M-S1 Motherboard Rev ver 2.0 – It is basic motherboard with all the good features and has support for adding a Graphics card and RAM upto 16 GB. Look for the version 1.0 or later when buying it confirm with the seller. Supports Intel Haswell processors Core i3 , Core i5 Core i7 which you can upgrade later.

Key Specifications for the Motherboard:

Supports 4th Generation Intel® Core™ processor

USB 3.0 ports with GIGABYTE 3x USB power

Solid capacitors for CPU VRM design

Support for DDR3 1600/1333 MHz memory modules

High Definition Audio

1 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x 16, with PCI E 2.0 support

Support for Windows 8/7

Graphics Card – The Heart of the Gaming Rig – Sapphire AMD/ATI R7 250X 1 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card – In the first build we have added the Sapphire AMD R7 250X which is the best budget card for Rs. 8,000.

The graphics card has Core clock of 950 Mhz and requires a 500 Watt minimum power supply. It has 640 Stream processors almost double compared to a R7 250. It sports 1 GB GDDR5 Memory with the memory bandwidth of Up to 72 GB/s. The PCI –E 3.0 Bus standard is required for connecting to the motherboard. It supports Microsoft DirectX 12.

It will also work with PCI Express 2.0 or PCI Express 3.0. The graphics card has a 128 Bit memory interface same as the AMD R7-250. The graphics Card is manufactured with 28 NM technology. The graphics card supports AMD crossfire (if you want to add a similar card and run both cards together). The graphics card comes with a 3 year domestic warranty. Compared to a R7-250 you can easily get a performance upgrade of 10-20% or even higher in most gaming titles. Suitable for gaming resolution of 1366*768.

Couple of suggestions if you wish to keep all the other components same you can Add a 1600 Mhz Kingston 4GB RAM instead of Transcend DDR3 -1333 Mhz RAM will cost additional Rs. 1,000.

You can also upgrade the graphics card to a AMD R7 – 260X or Nvidia GT 750 ti in the same build while spending additional Rs. 2000.

Hello, one year back I had assembled a pc under 30,000 by reading your post and it works beautifully. I need to build another pc for office work only. Please can you guide me whether it is possible to build pc for office work under 10,000? What configuration can I use?

Plz tell me i want to build a pc but m low on a budget the max i can spend is 25k for everything.. i dont require that much gaming as me and my brother don’t have time for that. But atleast we should be able to play gta5 on a weekend.. plz suggest.

Yo! Hey, about the last rig with GTX 750ti, I don’t need monitor since I already have one but is there anyway to reduce the cost to under 30k so that when I customise it the overall cost would come to around 30-32k?

I have never customised the cpu by myself, so, do you think it is better to go for a wholesaler and customise it or buying it online and building it myself is better (Although the second method is less costly)?

hello , can this rig no 3 run GTA V at 50 fps and also that the prices on sites are way more than you have mentioned here are there any other ways to buy these parts local ? at wholesale even the cabinet is out of stock

I already have an i5-2320 (3.2 GHz) , an H61MS2PB3 Motherboard. I want to play games like Farcry primal and upcoming games on FHD TV. please suggest me a good future proof Graphic card.
I’m thinking of upgrading RAM so please suggest that too.
Do I need to upgrade Motherboard ? I’m around 25k budget.

hey kanuj,
i want to change my pc as a gaming computer for that what i want to do and i am not having graphic card

my pc config
windows 7
intel core i3 – 3220 CPU 3.30GHz
4 GB RAM
32 bit
500 GB memory

I want to build a pc with GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-USB3 MOTHERBOARD and processor Amd fx 4300 with Western Digital Internal HDD and with power supply from corsair and cabinet from antec… I want to add graphic cards too that can run many high end game such as gta 5 fifa 15 or Fifa 16 … how much power supply do I need from corsair and what graphic cards should I used?? and what cabinet from antec will fit and I already have Benq with 15.6 inch.. I have resolution of 1366*768 ….
please suggest me

Hi kanuj, i have some troubles to run the g3258 on windows 10 especially.when i overclock it.the os does not boot and keeps on restarting but when i change it to stock clockspeeds the os was able to boot in properly.do u have any ideas to overclock the processor under windows 10?

Hey kanuj please help me. My rig is-
ram -4 GB corsair vengeance
cabinate- Antec ASK-4000B-U3 Mid Tower Cabinet
hard disk- 1TB SEAGATE (SV 35)(7200 rpm)
psu- CORRSAIR VS 550 SMPS
processor-AMD BULLDOZER FX 4300
motherboard- ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3
graphic card-ZOTAC NVIDIA 750TI 2GB
I want to ask that can I use the processor fx6300 instead of fx 4300 which is only 1400 R’s more than the latter one. Also I don’t play much games ,so would it be wise to spend 10000 R’s on a graphic card. AND would I be able to overclock the processor to 4 GHz (fx6300),with using the same motherboard. please also suggest if there is any other flaw in my rig .ANY help would be appreciated.
THANK YOU.

Hello kanuj , if I will go wth the 3rd configuration , what fps will I be getting in gta v? Also the prices that you have listed are not the exact , some are cheaper and some are expensive but it is a nice article thx
And one more thing , will the 3rd configuration support windows 10 64 bit ? And if I increase my budget a little bit , can i get a better graphics card with this setup?

Suggest me a better GPU then , and upgrading ram to 8gb worth it and what do you think this pc will run games till which year?If you live in delhi , can you suggest me a place where I can get the parts assembled

Hmm , but can it gta v on 30 fps? I think that it can but not sure. And if you live in delhi is there any shop you know where I can get assembled the parts at a low cost? And btw I think you should update the prices , 3rd setup costs 39k now

Hi kanuj, I have checked my GPU(Asus amd r7 260x) with gpu-z it shows every thing correctly but in bus interface of the GPU shows low, saying that the GPU is running at PCI express x4 v3.0 but it says that the GPU supports PCI express 3.0 @ x16 speed and even my motherboard(Asus b-85m g) supports PCI express 3.0 at full speed.the actual question is how to increase the bus interface speed of the GPU ? And one more thing the processer is oCed @4.3 GHz due to this will it cause any issues?

Hi Sir, Can I combine INTEL Core i3-4130 3.4 GHz LGA 1150 4th Generation Processor with Nvidia GTX 750 ti or AMD 260X or Intel 3.1 GHz LGA 1150 i5 4440 Processor with Nvidia GTX 750 ti or AMD 260X? Will this be good for all games that require high configurations? Which motherboard should I go with? Which is better when we compare AMD 4 GHz AM3+ FX-4300 FX-Series Four-Core Edition with intel on a long run?

Hiiii,Kanuj
Am going to open a game parlour and I don’t know wat should be the configuration of a gaming pc.so I request u to give me some idea about gaming pc configuration below 30000 budget per pc.i want 2 buy 10 pc of same configuration plz replay……

I would prefer to use an ssd 128 gb or even lesser. against the normal hard drive as I will be running just two or max three applications on this built and planning to use fx 6000 based processor. I use heavy rendering and codes. What do u suggest on ur configuration 3

sir! i just want to know that AMD 4 GHz AM3 FX-4300 FX-Series Four-Core Edition- processor,ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3 — Motherboard and will ZOTAC NVIDIA GeForce GT 730 1GB DDR5– grahices card will be enough to play gta v in low sitting and will it give me a good performance or suggest me a good assemble computer if you have any better option and it should under 15000 (cpu). thanks

I have other things, GPU, Monitor, Optical Drive. The problem is, i am confused with mobo. Is their any other better mobo near to this one or other cheap mobo compatible with fx 8320 or 6350.
Please do reply sir…
Thank you…!!!

how ever thanks for the build(2nd) but i have changed some things to improve gaming performence for my self
amd r7 260x,g3258,asus b85m g,4gb transcend,zeb platinum 500w,1tb wd green,carbide series spec01. already having e1914h moniter now i am playing watchdogs even on lowestsetting (800×600)the lags very badly but fps is around 53 stable.then i installed latest drivers for all but no improvement at all.will an extra
4 gb ram will fix this issue.one more thing not only this game lags other games just likely nears wd have same issue

Psu has no issue even before tellin to you about this issue i have reinstalled win 8.1 more than 5times to solve this problem but no improvement at all.i think this issue is related with ram or hdd or pagefile limit(this is the place where games files were created temporarly to play) now what do you think kanuj?

Finally i called a service technician he just increased the page file to 15 gb now the games were working without any lag.anyway thanks for the help and also for gaming rig build config 2 (fewparts have been changed as you said while buying without moniter) overall now many games were working on ultra including wd and fc4 @1366*768 no AA.a big thanks to u kanuj.

Hey guys i have a fx-6300, 8 gbs of ram, 500 watt PSU i am looking for a graphics card in the price range of 15k-18k range i am thinking of R9 270X as it fits in the budget and do you think that the video card is better than going for an nvidia one as i have an AMD processor.
